Let's let B represent the number of bags and C represent the number of caps.
From the given information, we can write the following equations:
1) The total number of items: B + C = 2000
(The sum of the number of bags and caps must equal 2000 since they plan to give away 2000 total items.)
2) The total cost: 10B + 5C = 12500
(The cost of bags multiplied by the number of bags plus the cost of caps multiplied by the number of caps must equal $12,500 since they have a budget of $12,500.)
These are the pair of linear equations that model the given situation.
The Jackson Jammers are giving away bags and caps at their next game. The bags, B, cost them $10 each, and the caps, C, cost them $5 each. they plan to give away 2,000 total items and have a budget of $12,500. write a pair of linear equations that model this situation
